Can This Be Pots/dys Related....

Hi all.

I have had a rough few days. A lot of diahrea. It has been going on for a week. I don't especially feel sick....just POTS as usual. Neither of my kids are sick....boyfriend isn't sick. I have had eposides of gastric emptying problems since POTS but this is ridiculous. I have at least 6 -8 episodes of diahrea a day. How can I possilby have anything else in me????

I am so hesitant to go to my GP because he basically is an idiot about POTS. I am controlling my symptoms with pepto bismal. It seems to get real bad around 2 -3 in the afternoon...which coincidentally is when I start to get my "sick" episodes...mornings are my best times (or anytime I have been laying down for hours...)

Anyone else relate to this?

Thanks...

Erika

A week is a long time. What are you eating? Keep up the fluids as you know

I get that for a day or two but NOT a week..yikes!!!

Maybe someone else will come along to add more...keep us posted.
